What's the point of having a programming imageboard? Do you really need images to talk about programming? That's fucking retarded. It would be filled with ,,kewl cat image reaction makros xD'', and zero actual discussion. /prog/, as a textboard, is just perfect. /prog/ had a good post rate (slow enough to let you actually think about what you're posting, fast enough to not be Ruby4-ch), which got ruined by the recent influx of spammers, redditors and /g/tards.
If we get new mods or janitors, they would be as retarded as the /g/tards.

I always wonder, what has 4chan in its current form that keeps the masses coming over again and again.
Who is this 「moot」 fellow, anyway? Does he work for Mr VacBob-sama?

>>4 If we get new mods or janitors, they would be as retarded as the /g/tards.
They will ban you for denigrating Python and saying bad things about Guido's mom.

That's the point you fucking retard, if we get a programming imageboard all the morons will be attracted to the shiny images and leave /prog/ alone so we can have our super secret club back.
>>1 /prog/ is disgusting nowadays, it's filled with pythonistas, enemies of Sussman and disciples of the ANTI-CUDDER Abelson and his new master Guido.
You know it's true.
You're now watching two strangers discuss your question! Question to discuss: Why is the programming language `Python' so popular? It's fucking shit: terrible syntax, terrible support of functional programming, terrible reference implementation, terrible package system.
Stranger 1: http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/python.png Stranger 2: amma check it out man! Stranger 1: Thank god I got that question again. Stranger 2: loool Stranger 1: I had the link prepared but the stranger disconnected. Stranger 2: lawl Stranger 2: amma check it ou Stranger 1: I should probably go back to my TARDIS now. Stranger 1: *VWORP VWORP VWORP*
Stranger 1 has disconnected
I'm pretty sure I'd prefer doing enterprise Java for a living than discuss with such programmers. /prog/'d better remain a textboard.
That said, it would be better if people could refrain themselves from making irrelevant or ``hacking'' threads.
There's already /g/. Honestly, contemporary image boards need to take a cue from iichan/4-ch/etc and have a limited number of boards, but one topic per thread. Instead of "halp /g/ how do i hack??" there should be [Newbies] Hacking! [Part 1337]
>>27
The only reason why 4chan is so shit is because lack of mods that ban these stupid fucks niggerdick.

Mods are solution to the wrong problem: /prog/ is not a secreet 1337ist club it used to be in 2008. Its web2.0 /prog/ now and people can't adapt to that by telling everyone "go back to /\w+/".
